You can use direct database debugging to test SQL stored procedures without creating an ODBC application to call the stored procedure. Direct database debugging bypasses the need for an ODBC application. For example, if you want to determine if a stored procedure works correctly, you can quickly create a direct database project and then directly test the SQL stored procedure.
Feature Only in Enterprise Edition Creating a direct database project is supported only in Visual C++ Enterprise Edition. For more information, see Visual C++ Editions.
